Absolutely horrifying and still can’t stop listening. Drives me so mad but what a unreal crazy story !
Excellent work . Thank you !
Good until it’s not
Interesting podcast while it focuses on the Satanic Panic. But it goes off the rails by attempting to solve the case itself. The host needs to calibrate his BS-detector.
Unsolved
The synopsis should read ‘Journalist Wes Ferguson returns home TO TRY to uncover’. It should be made clear that by the time you finish this podcast, you’re none the wiser on who did it. That said, it is a very interesting podcast.
